We all know what stretchers are, but perhaps not everyone knows about the various types of rescue stretchers on the market.
This article will briefly outline the six commonly used rescue stretchers in high altitude and enclosed spaces:
1. Spinal plate;
2. Basket stretcher;
3. Extractor;
4. Flexible stretcher;
5. Special mountain rescue stretcher;
6. Special stretcher for snow rescue.
When an emergency occurs in a confined space, every company with rescue and recovery personnel should have a stretcher at hand. The same applies to personnel working at heights.
In fact, many people have it. Excellent consultants will recommend purchasing it, hoping that it will never be used. Unfortunately, this hope often becomes' unimportant ', so stretchers are often overlooked, even in training. In many factories, stretchers are often found in closets that most people are unaware of. Many do not have stretchers, and if they do, they are not the most suitable type, just the one that the supplier "has available".
So, let's take a look at what types of rescue stretchers these 6 have and what their respective advantages are. I hope it can be helpful for choosing a stretcher correctly.
【1】 Spinal lamina
The spinal plate is a stretcher designed to transport back trauma patients who require fixation as much as possible. The injured person should not stay on the spinal cord for more than 40-45 minutes, otherwise they may suffer from other types of trauma. However, using a spinal plate cannot handle the injured person vertically, and the injured person must be recovered through a manhole or ventilation opening, which is more cumbersome to operate. The vertebral plate cannot be dragged. There are various types of spinal plates on the market, from very economical polyethylene models to more advanced non polluting materials, aluminum or carbon fiber models. KONG's X-trim stretcher is a foldable spine board made entirely of carbon fiber. It can be inserted into a textile bag (Mount Everest kit) and lifted by belt and winch.
